Community Partners for Affordable Housing is a nonprofit that strives to provide affordable housing for local low income families. The organization typically buys homes in need of some care, rehabs them, and then sells them at a price significantly under market value. In order for a family to qualify for a home they must not earn more than 80 percent of the median income for the area.
